Hiking in the Dolomites
Originally posted on Merrell

I have been struggling with knee pain for 6 months. I planned this trip prior and was really struggling with how I was even going to be able to enjoy this trip. My daily average has been down to 7500 steps a day. I bought these as a last ditch effort to reduce the shock on my knees. Before I finished the trip I ordered two more pair in different colors. I climbed 250 flights of stairs and walked 42 miles in a week in these shoes. I couldn’t have done this trip without them. A game changer for me.

I have sciatica, and these shoes reduced the pain. I love the traction and very nice design. These shoes are winners in my book.

Purchased Merrell's for a trip to Iceland and Norway. Broke them in over a month. They were comfortable, provided good traction, I didn't have fatigued and they looked great!

Hiking shoes
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
I like how these shoes look and generally they feel good on my feet but are a little tight for the size. The Vibram outsoles provide great traction on rough terrain. The soles are hard and insulate well from the terrain. Lateral support feels adequate for a low shoe.

A good all rounder shoe
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
Though I know next to nothing about shoes, I know these were the most comfortable things i've ever put on my feet. Walking in the street, hiking 7 miles, even running 5ks, these shoes have served me well during the month I've had them and shoe little to no signs of wear! Breathable, comfortable, and stylish, 10/10!!

Comfortable Walking Shoe with 1 Issue
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
comfortable shoes, I have some feet issues, and these are very comfortable walking my every day. The one negative I have is the cheap insole is absolute garbage. I get half a block down the street and the insole has slid down where the tow is now at the ball of my foot and they bunch up in the heal. I added some new insoles that are great but this should not happen with a new shoe.

Great shoes

Great shoes, I'd read that they were narrow, but they fit the way Merrell medium width fits. They're super comfortable, very cushioned and the Vibram soles are plenty grippy. I hated the laces and replaced them with proper round laces.

THESE SHOES ROCK!!!!!!
Originally posted on Merrell

These are so cute, comfy, and durable, I am so impressed by this shoe! I was moved to write my first internet review ever because of my experience today, where these shoes really excelled. I spent four hours moving my little brother out of his college dorm room (carrying boxes up and down stairs / across streets) in 95+ degree weather. These were so comfy the entire time and kept my feet cool. Literally I could not have done it without these shoes. A bonus was that their cute-ness kept my morale high when the moving got tough. After moving we went straight to a local punk/hardcore concert. I usually wear my boots but forgot them so wore the mary janes. I was a bit nervous about this, but they performed amazingly!! I spent almost two hours in the mosh pit, jumping around and running into people. I was so worried a strap would come undone and the shoe would fly off, but THE VELCRO STRAPS HELD THE ENTIRE TIME!! And I was never flat-tired!!! I am shocked!! Also, I was worried about being stepped on/getting them dirty but shockingly left with no major stains; this off-white lace color was resilient! Finally, I usually have post-concert back pain from so long standing at a concert, and have to do many stretches/twists/etc. But I had none today thanks to these shoes! TL;DR: I was in many physically active situations today and these shoes performed wonderfully. I bought them because I love mary janes and wanted a sneaker/comfy shoe and these exceeded all my expectations!!

Very nice shoes
Originally posted on Merrell

I have had the SpeedArc Matis for about a month and love them. They are a bit narrow but so are my feet.... Lacing system is nice just pull and lock. They are very comfortable for walking and have not had any roll as other reviews stated. I would purchase again.

Achillis Tendinitis
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
I bought these to help with my Achilles Tendinitis. They have the cushion. The 8mm heel to toe. As a well as a stable footing with the extended base or underside of thw shoe. Love the funky colour. I tried a Hoka and it really made everythibg worse for me. This shoe is not perfect to fix my issue, but it has done great thongs for me. I wish I had an outdoor pair and an i door pair (slippers). Will have to wait

Poor Quality
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
Wore these shoes for about two weeks, and they are completely trashed. I went to a music festival in Vegas and another in Washington. Washington had more rough terrain but majority of the time I wasn’t doing anything crazy. So for barely two weeks of owning them and how worn out they are, not at all impressed.

Great shoe! Support, cushion and style are awesome

Have been a Moab hiking customer for years (have about 5 pairs, although I am not sure I really wear them out vs wanting new colors, styles and high vs mid-height. These are crazy comfortable and although only have about 20 miles on these new shoes, they may just be my new favorite. Just bought another pair to use for everyday (replacing a pair of HOKA's).

Slightly heavy
Originally posted on Merrell

These are QUALITY shoes with a capital "Q". That said, they are a little heavy which they WOULD be for trail walking, but I walk on asphalt in my neighborhood almost 100% of the time, so I do not need the extra weight. The shoes ARE very comfortable!
